Vision of the
Grail: the trinity of Enlightenment,
personal integration and selflessness.

1. That afternoon there was a very special
atmosphere. It was as if the air around me was filled with some rare energy. I lay on my
bed and felt very relaxed.

2. Suddenly the room became very
transparent. Everything changed into a very unusual clarity. Then, with my eyes open, a
visionlike phenomenon appeared right in front of me. First I could not see what it was,
but immediately after I saw some dots radiating light. As the light became more and more
intense, the dots began to look symmetrical. I saw them change into a form. They became
bigger. Suddenly I saw what it was: little golden flowers with minute red drops in their
hearts. The flowers radiated beautiful light around them. Then I recognized them as St.
John's Wort.

3. I had never seen such a radiating
splendour before. It stayed there for a short while, then it started changing. The green
twigs and leaves started changing into gold. The twigs reshaped themselves into
semicircles with their opening to the sky. The red drops fused into each other and became
bigger. In the meantime, the intensity of the gold as well as the radiance of the light
had grown accordingly. How extremely beautiful this was. Suddenly I saw: the object was a
Tree of Life, a Jewish Menorha. There were the seven arms, each with a red flame at the
top. I was deeply fascinated, awfully impressed by the clarity of the vision.

4. Even then the change did not stop. It
went on and on at a slow pace. I was able to follow it easily. After the Tree of Life
reached its fullest expression, the arms became thicker and thicker. They grew towards
each other. First they touched, then they fused. All space between the arms was filled
with incredibly beautiful gold, radiating light in all directions. The energy was
extremely powerful.

5. To begin with I did not recognize what
it was but shortly after it looked like a golden cup. Yes, it was a golden Chalice
radiating fascinating light all around. I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life
before, such a perfect shape, such blissful radiance. This was not a normal experience.
Its nature was definitely transcendental. Then, very slowly the Chalice started bending
towards the right and I was able to look into it a little. I knew: this was the climax.
Something very special was going to happen. Suddenly I saw. The Chalice was filled with a
red fluid...blood! It was blood! Blood came up out of the Chalice's depth and started
dripping over its edge. As the Chalice continued to bend over its side, more and more
blood poured out of it. It became a stream, yes a river of blood flowing abundantly and
without cessation. The Chalice appeared to be an Inexhaustible Source.

6. As I realized this, I was filled with
deepest emotion and gratitude. An ecstatic joy overwhelmed me. And as that happened, the
vision slowly diminished until finally it disappeared.

7. After some time the true
nature of this event became dear to me. A centuries long mystic quest had been
revealed to me. The culmination of so much effort, speculation, deception and greed had
been brought back to Its Original Purity. Yes, this was The Holy Grail. However, for me it
was not the end, but the beginning of my spiritual journey. The meaning became clear to me
only much later. The vision contained a message to the world. St.Johns Worth
symbolizes man "rooted in Heaven and earth"; the Menorha that of
"the (Jewish) Law, symbolizing the necessity of personal integration and the
Chalice that of selflessness.

The Grail is the
Vessel symbolizing the Great Mother
(Cosmic Womb)

8. In his quest for all-inclusive clarity
he subsequently started studying the history of the Grail, doing this with a certain
degree of reluctance, nay aversion, considering the bulk of esoteric non-sense writings
about the Grail, still on the increase every year. What he distilled out as being
reasonably acceptable - apart from interpretations, which connect the Vessel to archaic
sources, symbolizing the Cosmic Womb* - is the story of Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene. After his
crucifixion, which has all the indications, that it was a symbolic rather than a concrete
death, serving the purpose of "fulfilling the prophesy", e.g. proving that he -
Jesus - was the Messiah, the King of Juda in the lineage of David...Mary Magdalene,
together with her children, among which two sons - all children of Jesus - fled to
Marseille. Because the older son - Jesus Justus - did not marry, the family line was thus
continued by his younger brother Joseph (meaning the "crown prince"). He was
called the first Grail Child, meaning the fruit - "blood" - of the womb - vessel
or "grail" - of the Magdalene. To cut the story short, the descendents of Joseph
affiliated themselves to the aristocracy of the Franks, which was the beginning of the
Merovingian dynasty, having its highlights with Clovis and ending with the betrayal of the
Church, through which Dagobert II - the last successful king - was murdered, in favor of
his servant Pepin the Fat. The Church having itself identified with the teaching of Paul,
together with all the imperial aspirations connected to it, felt increasingly threatened
by the Jesus dynasty, hence its effort of making an end to it. However, at that time the
family as such was not destroyed. Its (aristocratic) descendents popped up in all kinds of
people, liaisons and situations. For instance, the famous Godefroi of Bouillon, King of
Jerusalem is said to be related to the original clan. Which clues us about the connection
of the Grail and the Knights Templar, the latter being the guardians of the former. In
short, according to these historic interpretations, the Grail is symbolizing nothing less
than the dynastic genealogy of the Jesus family.**

9. In the mean time the Sermes was struggling with the new information. On the one
hand, it was time for him to acknowledge e.g. face all the consequences resulting from his
revelation, while rejecting any form of speculation on the other. A considerable amount of
the latter he found with those contemporary writings, in which certain families - usually
related to the current European aristocracy - claim to be descendents of the Jesus
dynasty. However, as repeatedly stated in the same sources, the whereabouts of that
dynasty have become totally obscured and were lost during the centuries. Thus the
genealogies produced are a product of wishful thinking, serving only existing interests,
trying to regain power and influence though reviving the legend of the Grail. To the
Sermes two things were decisive. First, the fact, that the original lineage of the Grail
not only including a "bloodline", but also the transmission of spiritual wisdom.
This knowledge had been passed directly from Jesus to Mary Magdalene; the other way around
may also be a possibility, since Jesus was anointed by her (a high priestess of the Mother
cult) and not vice-versa. Hence, Maria Magdalene being called "the apostle of
apostles", "the one who knew the All" and the one "who transmitted the
true secret of Jesus". This spiritual lineage soon ceased to exist, since its
descendents became entirely worldly oriented. The "drying out of the lineage"
was thus twofold: physically ("the bloodline") and spiritually. Thus, since the
bloodline has died out, the "second coming" could only be spiritual. Which can
only be claimed by someone, who is a suitable candidate, e.g. who is spiritually fully
Realized. Conclusion: the Grail, after its retreat in its hidden spiritual realm - only
"waiting for the right time and circumstance" - has indeed revealed itself once
again. It has chosen the Sermes - typically an "outsider" according to the
Parcival legend - as the initiator of a new Grail family. Feverishly he tried to find all
kind of excuses for not facing the consequences of this latest insight. Only to discover,
that - both through the authenticity of the Vision, completed by all kinds of additional
symbolic relationships - that the legitimacy of his revelation was real. The
"bloodline" thus being definitively and exclusively replaced by spiritual
lineage. For the Sermes everything fell into place. The context of his mission being the
Great Mother, together with Her Law of the Universe, with specific responsibility to
further spreading of the Grail - as Her Message to the world - while taking care of a new
spiritual lineage e.g. nobility.
